We usually stay at least three meters away from the teleprompter at any time, simply because the closer you are, the more obvious it is that you’re reading from a teleprompter. You’ll find that it may take a while to find a speed that is right for you, as if it’s slightly too slow or too fast, this will be obvious to viewers because you’ll either be talking extremely fast or taking pauses mid-sentence waiting for the autocue to catch up. The first one is important – find the perfect scrolling speed. But before you go and kick-start your presenting career, let us at Macworld UK pass on a few tips that we’ve found valuable when reading from a teleprompter. Once you’ve got all the kit it should be fairly easy to assemble – just follow the instructions from the manufacturer, then slot your iPad and camera into place. It takes around 5-10 minutes to set up and doesn’t include a tripod so that will have to be bought separately, but we feel that the quality produced makes the £245 price tag justifiable. The ForestAV kit includes premium teleprompter glass “designed to provide the perfect balance of reflectance and pass-through without any distortion” and even comes with an aluminium flight case to transport it. We at Macworld UK have used the ForestAV iPad Teleprompter kit, available fromĪmazon, which costs almost half the price of the Autocue package at £245 and still provides great results. It looks to be a great, albeit fairly expensive option.

Starter Series iPad Lite Teleprompter Package costs £550 for example, but includes a wide-angle teleprompter hood, mounting system for the DSLR and mounting plate for your iPad, along with broadcast quality prompter glass to provide a clear image when recording. The autocue accessory may possibly be the most expensive part of the setup (minus the iPad and camera, of course!) and thus, the decision to buy one shouldn’t be taken lightly. Let us know on Twitter if you have any suggestions.

There is also the option to build your own rig to attach to your camera and iPad, but many issues could arise from seeing a visible teleprompter reflection in the video to being unable to read the teleprompter due to light leakage. The teleprompter accessory may be the most expensive part of the setup, so it’s worth having a think before you decide to throw down £200-500 on an accessory. Once you’ve got your teleprompter app of choice installed on your iPad, the next step is to buy/build an accessory that’ll attach to your DSLR/video camera, allowing you to read your script while looking directly into the camera and maintaining eye contact with the audience at home, helping to show confidence and engage the viewer at home. The first thing you need is an iPad, of course, loaded with a teleprompter app and your script, which we will come to in more detail below.
